To pay for their bridge there will be an automatic increase in the bridge tax each year unless Members of Congress specifically vote to suspend the increase � ��" just like how their pay raises are handled. Mysteriously, as it is with their raises, the bill suspending the automatic increase would never seem to make it to the floor for � ���"debate� �� � or even see the light of day. After all, their raises never get suspended, not even during � ���"wartime� �� � or any other time, like during record deficits that were okay the last eight years, but are not okay now.

On that point, any right-winger would be happy to explain to you that record budget deficits are perfectly fine for war � ��" to keep Americans safe! Record budget deficits are, however, totally unacceptable for Universal, Single-Payer, Public Healthcare � ��" to keep, er" Americans" um" safe.
